I have pain like mild ing in my lower left abdomen, but it hurts more when my abdomen is pressed left of my navel. A sonogram revealed that it is not my ovaries. Hurts more sharply when having a bowel movement, but not so much to be considered major. This has been going on for 5 months. I will get further tests, but how serious could this be?
